AN INTERESTING TALK.
BY Major Cole Friday Night on
the Subject of Peace"

the Subject of Peace"
The Congregational church wa
filed from pulpit to doors Friday nigh
to hear Major Cole. The evangelist,
subject for the evening was ''peace,
and after making a few preliminary
remarks, began in an earnest manner
by saying:
"There is no peace for the wicked
They may have
THE DEVILS PEACE,
which is indifference. You say OF
Saturday night, 'Iil have peace to
morrow and then you'll slip around
to the back door, take a customer
in and sell him all you can.
| think it is too bad that we are
not willing to make peace with God.
They talk about Jay Gould" contin-
tinued the major, "but let me tell
you that Jay Gould is not any worse
than the stockholders who say they
are not responsible for the actions of
the president, that they can't help
what he does, but watch them 60
around next morning and
TAKE MORE STOCK.
Our country has invented these
large torpedo guns. What for .
peace. Ipull out. my little testament
and beat them every time"
"Other people say: oh, I'll be
christian when l get the mortgag
of my stock and the
III have peace, but you
will always notice that he turns
right square around and buys more
goods. There can be no peace until
we make it with God. The devil can
make man believe that he will have
peace by having plenty of money.
That won't fill the bill. Why is it,"
said the Major earnestly, that people
will take the testimony of men on
everything else but religion? When
they buy threshing machine they
will call up some one and ask them ::
Did you ever see this work? and-tell
me all about it, but when it comes to
religion hundreds of people
get up and testify for
God they won't hearken to it. A
little boy not out of his teens once
said to me, 81 don't believe in the
divinity of Christ" Who was to
blame? Why those who raised him,
and" said the major enthusiastically,
at would have been better if that
boy had died at three years of age by
the
HANDS OF AN ASSASSIN
than to live, die and wake up in
hell.
i None of us would care to have all
our acts made known. If such was
the case tonight, a number of us
would 60 out through the windows
and if the BAzoo and Democrat
desire to publish all they see,
don't you suppose that the
night trains would take off a large
number of Sedalians. Old Satan is
always in the way. If you start he
says, what if George says, come, let's
20 and take drink! or afraid some
body will squeal on you for stufing
the ballot box A man said to me
down in New York:
Cole. do you know what [ am
praying for!-I am praying
FOR A TRorTKR.'
Well, he bought fast trotter and
carried on for some time, but not long
since L heard of that man failing in
BUSH es. If all the wealthy men in
Sedalia and the state of Missouri
would say to me, Major, We will
zee that you have a
fast horse and have your
family provided for L would
say. No, L won't accept of your prop
osition. [ have been in partnership
with men, and have found them out |;
they have proven false, but [ have
been in partnership with Christ for
sixteen years, and bless God, he has
NEVER FAILED NE.
Oh, dear friends, there is nothing
like being right with God and getting
peace. have got peace, and if you
don't believe it look me square in the
face, and see for yourselves. [ would
would rather my daughter would 60
into a darkey cabin and wash for a
living than not to be right with God.
How many are there here tonight who
are right with God, and have found
